I sold 4 used perfumes that I bought for $1 a bottle recently. Between the 4 bottles they sold for a total of $113.50 but I offered free shipping for a quick sale and accepted offers on all of them, not bad for a $4 investment. They include bottles of Christian Dior J'adore, Christian Dior Dolce Vita, Yves Saint Laurent Opium and Pierre Balmain Jolie Madame.

I took a $40.50 offer on this one, the best of the lot-

Bought Fifa '12 at a garage sale (the woman selling wanted it gone, and she just gave me 3 PS2 games for a dollar). I was hesitant at first, not knowing the value of this game because most sports games are worthless.

So bought for $0.33, sold for $18 w/ $3 shipping ended up making $20.02. So a $19.69 profit.

Bought a sealed PS2 game at a garage sale for $2, sold for $10 shipped. Ended up making about $5 in the end, not bad. It's better than the game just going to goodwill.

I may have to revert to this strategy myself. It's more fun that way too. Thanks for adding to the thread.

Last weekend bought a brand-new sealed oral B ultrasonic toothbrush for $15. It actually sells for about $250 or more brand-new however when mine stopped working I bought a crappy cheap one and have to keep putting batteries in it so I decided I was going to keep that toothbrush for myself. As I'm leaving the lady said here this goes with it but you can have it for free! Still sealed in the package was an Oral-B floss set. I thought the thing was maybe worth like $10 so I took it. I don't think I would use it because it looks like it would just tear you up! Sold yesterday for $42.99 w/ $3 shipping. Some of them go for $50 or more but I was happy with what I got!
